Candidate Statement: My major interest in serving on the EC is to support undergraduate education and the teaching, research and scholarship that supports student opportunities inside and outside the classroom. My work in a large unit with majors and non-majors offerings has provided many opportunities to collaborate across campus on issues of student success and engagement. I believe that we do remarkable things at OSU, all things considered. As we look to the future, I would advocate for initiatives that support existing areas of excellence and high academic standards, while asking tough questions of changes that impact our central educational mission.
